Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 167

Lu Mingfei hid in the shadows of the cave, his powerful sensory attributes spreading out with the slight force of the storm, like bats flying out in the night, returning after encountering the enemy, bringing back the information he needed.

Although he couldn't yet achieve complete and meticulous control, with Lu Mingfei's deliberate practice over the past few days, he was more than capable of exploring the rough outline of this cave.

There are roughly two types of enemies in the cave.

The Red Lion Legion soldiers were brave and skilled in battle, serving as both overseers and guards; the miners looked withered and hunched, with skin as rough as rock, like mummies.

There are about six or seven Red Lion soldiers, but there are many more miners.

Each soldier had about three or four miners under his command. Excluding those on guard duty, the number of miners was quite substantial.

However, Lu Mingfei hesitated.

These soldiers and miners, on the surface, appeared to be in a relationship of enslavement and being enslaved. Given the medieval-like social structure of the border region, they were essentially slaves or forced laborers.

If he killed these soldiers, then raised a torch and shouted, "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise," or "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" would the miners follow him, Master Lu, in rebellion?

What are you thinking, Lu Mingfei? You're not Chen Sheng or Wu Guang.

The miners in the border area were not the kind of oppressed peasants who could rise up in rebellion. Their withered appearance, numb movements of swinging picks, empty eyes, and peculiar appearance all exuded an eeriness.

These miners are most likely no longer humans who can be moved by words or the idea of ​​liberation.

Let's stick to the old method.

Lurk, backstab, and then cut through the enemy lines with sparks and lightning!
He tensed his body slightly, mobilizing every muscle in his body to prepare them for a swift and explosive burst of power, and gripped the Lost Knight's Greatsword tightly with both hands.

He didn't take out the wire torch; that kind of toy-like combat technique could only be effective in narrow passages and was likely to alert enemies in the distance.

He also did not attempt to use a large-scale Dragon Offering Prayer. The enemies were too scattered, and using Dragon Offering Prayer would be tantamount to shouting in the dark, "All eyes are on me, I'm coming to kill you!"

Lu Mingfei silently approached the nearest prey.

The distance is shortening.

Ten steps... seven steps... five steps...

The red lion soldier seemed to be in charge of the overall situation, standing on a high platform looking down, his attention clearly not on the cave entrance.

A fierce glint flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes, and he suddenly accelerated forward!
He appeared like a fully drawn bow, a silver whirlwind, his right arm swung, and in the blink of an eye, the ancient, heavy greatsword was at the neck of the Red Lion soldier—

Swish!
Scalding blood gushed out instantly, spreading a crimson stain in the dim firelight. The soldier didn't even have time to cry out in pain before his body stiffened abruptly, his strong frame falling forward and crashing heavily onto the platform with a dull thud, drowned out by the clanging and chiseling sounds of rocks being struck in the cave.

Lu Mingfei moved without the slightest hesitation. In the past, he might have felt guilty for killing a soldier who still retained basic consciousness, but now, he was a qualified ruthless killer.

He suddenly leaped off the platform, and with great momentum, slammed his right foot onto the ground.

boom!
The grayish-white airflow suddenly burst forth from its point of impact, catching the surrounding soldiers and slaves off guard and causing them to lose their balance.

The heavy chopping sound rang out simultaneously with the cracking of bones. Blood splattered onto the rocks.

Taking advantage of the excellent opportunity he had created with his combat skills, he swung his arms like a hawk in a storm, efficiently and cruelly taking two more lives.

The two Red Lion soldiers didn't even have time to draw their swords before they turned into two corpses, collapsing weakly to the ground.

Several Red Lion soldiers further away finally reacted to the instantaneous death of their comrade!

One of them drew his longsword and roared, and the people around him instantly realized what was happening.

Someone has hacked us!

bass! bass!
The sound of swords being drawn rang out one after another, and the atmosphere in the tunnel suddenly became tense!

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to retaliate, a sudden alarm bell rang in his mind, as if a deadly threat was approaching from behind.

Ignoring the enemies in front of him, he suddenly turned to the side!

clang!
Amidst the howling wind, a heavy pickaxe slammed down on the spot where he had just landed, shattering the rotten wooden planks!
It's a miner next door!
The miner's empty, numb eye sockets were sunken, revealing no emotional fluctuations, as if he were just a machine with pre-programmed actions, swinging his pickaxe at the rocks when there were no enemies, and swinging it at the enemies when there were.

Although he was hunched over like a withered tree, his strength was unexpectedly great, even far exceeding that of the Red Lion soldiers who fell under Lu Mingfei's sword.

A golden light shone in Lu Mingfei's pupils, and the brutal will from the dragon erupted from his chest. With the power of the Dragon's Blessing, he was going to cleave the miner who was trying to ambush him in two!

However, when his greatsword, gleaming with a cold light, landed on the miner, Lu Mingfei realized that something seemed amiss.

The sensation from the blade wasn't like flesh and blood, but more like striking an incredibly tough old tree root. With a dull thud, Lu Mingfei's hand went numb from the impact.

The miner, struck hard, only staggered slightly; a deep dent remained on his cracked neck, but no blood splattered.

"What the hell?!"

Lu Mingfei was shocked; the miner's defenses far exceeded his expectations.

Lu Mingfei put at least 80% of his strength into that sword strike. With such a heavy weapon hitting him, even the Red Lion soldiers would have had a hard time taking a second hit.

But the emaciated miner in front of him was not only not completely cleaved in two by his swift attack, but his strong defense even brought a sluggish resistance to Lu Mingfei's sword.

Below the platform, several pairs of eyes flashing red light suddenly looked up.

The miners, who had been mechanically swinging their picks under supervision, now turned towards Lu Mingfei's position like awakened puppets.

They shifted their attention from the rocks in front of them, slowly straightened up, dragged their huge pickaxes, and roared strangely as they charged toward Lu Mingfei!
Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart clenched, and the shadow of death became incredibly clear at that moment.

If we don't come up with a solution soon, we'll really be hammered into "Lu Mingfei-chan" again and again by those terrifyingly large pickaxes!
